will produce two consecutive outstanding holiday season for the commonwealth’s retailers. Furthermore, both the overall real retail volume in 1994 and the number of payroll jobs will set new records for Virginia, finally passing their 1989 pre-recession peaks. Regionally, Pearson estimates that the Richmond-Petersburg area will likely be the growth leader among the three larger Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in 1994. Based on the combination of income and retail trade growth rates, Richmond-Petersburg will have a marginal lead over the Northern Virginia area and a larger lead over the Hampton Roads region. Retailers in all three MSAs will realize above-average sales growth for the fourth quarter of 1998. Growth in retail sales should be about 8.4 percent for Hampton Roads and Richmond-Petersburg, and 8.6 percent for Northern Virginia.
